M235i Newbie question

Hello guys,

Here is the set up on my 15' M235i 6MT

Active 8 tune (currently on map 6)
Active intercooler
Active Downpipe
ER chargepipe
AFE momentum intake (going to switch to Ijen intake soon)

For the first few weeks the car feels completely different, pulls much harder and
drives very smooth. I can definitely feel much improve power in every gear throughout the range.

For some reason, now , the car feels almost like stock. I can feel a huge power loss especially on the lower rpms. And the drivability feels rough, not as smooth.
Im not sure whats going on .
Any help appreciated it . Thanks in advance.

I'm sure this has to work similar to the JB4. Have you checked all of your connections, etc? Possible it's no longer adding the desired boost due to a poor contact? Has happened to me once so far, as well as my buddies M4. Just somewhere to start. Are you getting hotter weather than before? Bad quality fuel maybe? Few things to look into..

Thanks for the reply guys
Im local to Active Autowerke and they did the install for me. I'll pass by this weekend to have it check. I only use Shell V power fuel.
I actually don't know how to check the log >_<. can someone briefly explain..
I thought maybe I was in the wrong map or something. Thanks again.

Active tune does not have logging capabilities

Pass by Active, they will fix the issue quick
